On February 9, 2010, the Eclipse Foundation approved the official V1.0.0 release of the Spatio-Temporal Epidemiological Modeler project. Eclipse also approved STEM's "Graduation" from incubator status to mature Eclipse project. The V1.0.0 build is now available for release candidate testing and the official release will be available for download in mid-February. This important milestone reflects 6 years of effort by all of the many contributors to STEM. Thanks and congratulations to everyone who contributed to the creation of STEM!
